GRADING LAWN ON TENNYSON AVENUE Water-proofing is necessary below grade for basement or cellar walls whether they be constructed of unit masonry or poured concrete. Water proofing is done by applying an asphalt emulsion to the exterior face of the wall from the top of the footing to grade level. To assist the water-proofing, drain tile is laid around the perimeter of the house. This tile is laid so that the top of the tile is below the base- ment or cellar floor, The tiles are spaced 4%" to %" apart, with the top half of this space covered by a strip of 15 pound asphalt or tar saturated felt. The 'weeping tiles' are then covered by a six inch layer of clean coarse gravel. This drain- age system prevents water from accumulating about the founda- | tions, The water collected by the weeping tile can be disposed of Water-proofing Required | If Wall Block. Concrete in various ways. For instance the water can be discharged into a sewer, storm sewer, open ditch, into a sump in the base- ment or perhaps in a soak away pit. Should a high water table exist in .the land where the house has to be sited, the prob- lem of water-proofing will be greatly increased and care must be exercised when doing so. When granular soils are satur- ated with water and the water] is trapped, this is called "hydro- static pressure". Drainage to relieve such water pressure should be carried out.

GREAT DEMAND Granted that the above is somewhat more philosophical,| why are people flocking to apartments? One reason is because they are there. There is a great de- mand for housing of any kind in Oshawa right now and it is eas- jer to pay rent than to come up with a down payment With more builders turning to apartment construction, there is a. corresponding slowdown in home building. If it is more at- tractive economically to build apartments than homes, then the ratio will change from the present 50-50 and the consum- ers' choice will be more limited. Mr. Wandless cites other rea- sons: Today's apartments have more amenities than ever be- heating, air conditioning, under ground parking, swimming pools -- and there are no mainten- an problems such as grass- cullins and painting Young married couples live in apartments while saving money for a down payment Parents with grown-up families are finding apartment living at- tractive, too \ large factory-worker popu- lation has a built-in imperman- ence.
